View Extra Audio Details in Snow Leopard

In Snow Leopard, Option-clicking the Volume icon in the menu bar displays a list of sound input and output devices. Choose one to switch to it; it's much easier than using the Sound preference pane. Also, hold Shift and click the icon to set the system volume, which is separate from the general output volume.

We very much appreciates the email condolences we've received in regard to Tonya's neck injury, and we'd especially like to thank Martin Stoermer of the University of Queensland in Australia for collecting get-well messages from lots of wonderful people on several mailing lists. The combined email get-well card raised Tonya's spirits, and we'd like to offer it as an counter example whenever someone starts ranting about how unpleasant the Internet can be. Again, thanks so much for the kind words. [ACE]
